Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States
THIS IS THE KIND OF CAPRICE ESTATE WAGON COLLECTORS DREAM OF FINDING! Please see all the pictures and video I have taken of this car at the links below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNQmejXYIY http://s98.photobucket.com/user/colangp/library/1984%20Caprice%20Estate%20Wagon?sort=2&page=1
This amazing “survivor”, all original, numbers matching, 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon WITH the 3rd row "Jump Seat" with less than 63,000 original miles on it has had "technically" a total of 3 owners in its 30 year pampered life, but really, I'm feel I'm the 2nd owner. The car is an all original car from New Jersey. The original owners had the car until 2013, gave it to their grandson who had it only a few months. He didn't want it and decided to sell it to a gentleman that I bought it from, who only had it a couple months himself. He just bought it to flip and make a little money I believe. When I bought it, it was still registered in the grandson's name (the second owner).
Now, on to the description of this gorgeous vehicle. This Caprice Estate was never smoked in, was sparingly driven (as I said, it currently has less than 63,000 original miles), lovingly cared for and always garaged since new. Not only does it look virtually new, it drives like new! The original owner’s manual is still in the glove box. Included with the car is the original jack, jack instructions and a brand new full size spare tire. I have tons of receipts from the original owner validating the mileage which shows all the items done to the car over the years and very recently. More on that later....
This 1984 Caprice Estate is now being made available to some very lucky bidder. The only reason I’m selling it is because I have my eye on another classic car I found. If it doesn't sell, I’m perfectly OK with hanging on to it. I'm in no hurry to sell it at all. I know what I have so I'm not willing to "give it away".
This Caprice Estate was never hit and everything is in excellent factory original condition, including the paint and the "wood" decals. The car honestly looks like a two year old car. All the power windows and locks, lights, turn signals, horn, cruise control, gauges, wipers (and "squirters") and radio/cassette tape deck are in perfect working order. Remember that door buzzer/dinger when you inserted the key? Even THAT works perfectly! No electrical issues at all. The paint (which is 100% factory original, chrome bumpers (virtually showroom new original condition) chrome trim around the wheel wells, stainless trim and rubber trim are all in very good to excellent condition. Roof rack is in like new condition. No rust or pitting anywhere on any chrome surfaces. This car handles beautifully and holds the road nice and straight at 40 MPH or 70 MPH. No pulling at all and is very tight and responsive. The car tracks straight when driving and braking. The brakes work beautifully with no issues at all. This Caprice rides on a new set of white wall all season radial tires mounted on the original factory wheels and original wire wheel covers to maintain its original factory look. The exterior is incredible! The ALL original cranberry color still has a brilliant shine! It has a few nicks/blemishes here and there but from 3 feet away, they aren't noticeable and don't show up on the pictures. The floors and frame as well as under the hood and cargo area and wheel wells are all solid and rust free with no signs of rust or rot anywhere. Same for all the door jams and under the doors (see pictures). NO RUST ANYWHERE!! There is no way this car was ever driven in the winter. There is just some light surface rust underneath the car, typical for the age of the car. Nothing at all to worry about. All the glass is perfect. No chips or cracks anywhere. All the doors open and close effortlessly, just as new and all the door jams look new as well. NO RUST anywhere here.
But that’s just the beginning! The stunning interior is absolutely breathtaking and 98% original! I had a new headliner and sun visors professionally installed ($750) using OEM matching color and material. Looks awesome! Nothing has been modified or “cut up” in any way. It looks exactly as it did back in 1984 and looks brand new. The upholstery, door panels, seat backs, carpet, headliner (no sagging, fading or rips), dash pad (no cracks or fading), chrome and stainless trim pieces are in excellent to near new condition. This interior is, for all intensive purposes, in brand new original condition. This Caprice Estate is equipped with the original AM/FM stereo/cassette with front and rear speakers (which works perfectly), power steering, power brakes, electric clock (which actually works and keeps PERFECT time, cigar lighter (works great). The A/C blows cold with no issues. The heat works great with no issues.
This Caprice has the original 305 V8 engine with a the original but rebuilt 4BBL carb, which is hooked to its original transmission (4 speed) with overdrive. Both perform as new. Absolutely no knocking, smoking or hesitation from the engine and the transmission shifts through the gears like a new car. No slippage at all. No leaks anywhere and no burning of any oil. It’s very smooth with no issues. I brought this car to the Woodward Dream Cruise last year and “cruised” in 2 hours straight of bumper to bumper traffic just idling in 85 degree heat and the car didn’t miss a beat. No overheating and stayed in the “normal” temperature range the whole time. This 1984 Caprice Estate Wagon was ordered with the following equipment. VIN# 2G1AN35H7E9201681
305 CU V8 W/4 BBL CARB (RATED AT APPROX 150 HP) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AIR CONDITIONING (Still is using R12 and blows ICE COLD!)

DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS AMAZING 1984 CAPRICE ESTATE, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING ENJOYMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP!
READY FOR SHOW OR GO!
NO DISAPPOINTMENTS! This 1984 Caprice Estate has been lovingly cared for since new. This is a vehicle that anyone would be proud of and this car is wonderful to drive. It turns heads everywhere it goes. I get more looks for this car than any other classic car I have owned and I have had quite a few. It brings back so many memories for so many people. It took me YEARS to find this car in this condition. They simply don't exist anymore.
I see no reason why the winning bidder couldn’t fly in and drive this vehicle home to anywhere in the country.
As everybody knows, nothing is perfect. The paint has a couple of tiny stone chips on the hood and the paint has some minor blemishes on the hood here and there but are hardly noticeable, unless you get right up on the car. There is one small ding on the right rear quarter panel which you really have to look for as well as a couple tiny dings on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable and doesn't detract from the look of the car. The rear bumper fillers need replacing. I have already purchased the parts so they will be included with the sale of the car. The front door arm rests are starting to "lift" a bit as you can see in the pictures. The power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk
Sun, Oct 11 2015General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]
Tue, Apr 1 2014UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans
Tue, Apr 30 2019According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response. Green Rumormill Chevrolet GMC Truck Electric Future Vehicles Mary Barra electric truck chevrolet silverado
